both united states senators from virginia are democrats. the new governor-elect is a democrat, the new lieutenant governor-elect is a democrat, and as of today, the attorney general-elect of virginia is slated to be a democrat by a margin of 0.007%, which really makes that state certification of the vote total today feel like it's not necessarily on the most solid ground. who knows, but, wow, squeak. in virginia, the challenger is entitled to demand a taxpayer-funded recount whenever the difference is below half a percentage point and you can tell that's a lot closer than half a percentage point. so, mark obenshain has to decide whether to insist on a taxpayer-funded recount. two things to think about, a recount and the post-election wrangling takes money, right? throughout the campaign, mr. obenshain had a spending advantage over the democrat in this race, mark herring. since the election, and this is interesting, the republican party in the state of virginia, according to public records, does not seem to have contributed anything to mark
